I find the whole notion quite cringey, sounds like something scousers would do.

It has to be a wind-up surely?
Paul Scholes ffs?
Where the hell is Bernard Manning?
They must have done the poll freshers week in the student union!

I don't think it is mate (although I'll happily stand corrected), just sounds like some bars cheap ass gimmick 'to get the punters through the door', scousers or rags, got to be, got David Gills' fingerprints all over this, or Cilla Blacks'.

Then Whitworh, who gave the world standardisation and in turn mass production, should be No fucking 1. He was born in Stockport and as every rag will tell you, that's where we're all from. He was an engineering god and immortalised not only by the Whitworth street in town, or the Whitworth gallery, but by the greatest quote in military history.
The last words of General John Sedgwick of the Union army in the American civil war. Confederate snipers were armed with guns made by Whitworth and when he was asked to take cover, he replied "They couldn't hit an elephant from that dista..........."

I too was Stockport born so I'm all for it.

Fred Perry too has to be a better option than Bez, who was also Greater Manchester and not Manchester if I'm not mistaken.

It's 20 stickers on a pavement being used to promote the opening of a new bar. They'll all be gone in another few days so it really isn't worth taking too seriously.

Well it got the publicity It sought with some of those names. Surprised it just wasn't a list of "That famous night in Barcelona" team...

Its not an official walk of fame, its been set up by a new bar for advertising and its working perfectly. Wonder how much the MEN were paid to print this story?

It does, but if they did, everyone would slip on the Stevie G star.
